   Distributed Denial-of-Service Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) Signal
                           Channel Call Home
                  draft-ietf-dots-signal-call-home-01

Abstract

   This document specifies the DOTS signal channel Call Home service,
   which enables a DOTS server to initiate a secure connection to a DOTS
   client, and to receive the attack traffic information from the DOTS
   client.  The DOTS server in turn uses the attack traffic information
   to identify the compromised devices launching the outgoing DDoS
   attack and takes appropriate mitigation action(s).

   The Call Home service is not specific to the home networks; the
   solution targets any deployment which requires to block DDoS attack
   traffic closer to the source(s) of a DDoS attack.

1.  Introduction

1.1.  The Problem

   The DOTS signal channel protocol [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-channel] is
   used to carry information about a network resource or a network (or a
   part thereof) that is under a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)
   attack.  Such information is sent by a DOTS client to one or multiple
   DOTS servers so that appropriate mitigation actions are undertaken on
   traffic deemed suspicious.  Various use cases are discussed in
   [I-D.ietf-dots-use-cases].
